Cardinals in the Snow

I had sketched a cardinal to paint.This is the painting on my Lexmark scanner - no changes made.It's hard to see the snow on the tree limbs in this version. This is one from another scanner that we have- it's a Lexmark 5600.I also made a small change - I think I clicked on the sharpen button. I have it all written down - somewhere on this desk...

About Me

Creating art is like breathing to me. Everywhere I go, everything I do, everything I see becomes fodder for my artwork. It's just the way that I see, the way that I look at life.
In photos of me as a young child, I was always clutching a crumpled paper bag. Those bags were chock full of treasures- feathers, rocks, leaves and all sorts of ephemera.
As an adult, I do the same thing.
I am a collector of things, nature lover and creator of odd little works of art.
I draw. I paint. I love textiles and layers of texture. I'd love for you to follow, join or play along with me as I trip trap through this thing called life.
If I'm not elbow deep in paint or fiber, I'll be knee deep in water, kayaking with my husband.
